What is PAS 2035 and do I need it?

It is the retrofit standard governing how energy efficiency measures are assessed, designed and installed. Funded retrofit programmes generally require compliance and TrustMark registration.

Some allocate by geography or work type, others by mini-competition between appointed contractors. The framework agreement will explain the call-off mechanism.

Housing and refurbishment tenders in the UK

Housing providers are among the most consistent public buyers in the country, because their stock needs continuous investment. Councils, ALMOs and housing associations tender repairs, planned component replacement, retrofit programmes, damp and mould work and new development. Work inside occupied homes brings an extra dimension to evaluation: tenant satisfaction, appointment reliability and resident communication are scored, not just build quality.
